First off I just wanna say I don't expect much for response from here as not too many of you are into the audio visual possibilities of our cars. Please keep the flaming out. If you don't like it, dont say anything, thanks!

My engine in my car is dead, need to replace it.. And I'm quite broke right now. This is an AWESOME setup. I had it in my car for about 2-3 months tops. If this sells, I'll be crying. It includes (with prices I paid listed):

POWMAX 3304 BLACK Black Steel MicroATX Desktop Computer Case 230W Power Supply 48.48
BIOSTAR M7NCG 400 Socket A (Socket 462) NVIDIA nForce2 IGP Micro ATX AMD Motherboard 73
Panasonic CW-8124-BPN Black IDE Slim Combo Drive 78.49
Laptop IDE to USB external case for slim combo drive 20
Rosewill 256MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model RW400/256 13.98
AMD Mobile Athlon XP-M 2500+ (45W) Barton 266MHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket A Processor 88.99
OPUS 150 watt DC-DC power Supply 188.34
Lilliput 7" VGA Touchscreen 287.82
Maxtor Ultra 120GB 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive 99.98
Motorola PCI Internal Networking Wireless Adapter 39.63
Grand total: 938.71 not including the cost of power cables, usb exension cable (atleast $24.99) and a ps2 extension cable so I'm looking at having spent $1,000+ on this setup.

With this setup you can: Play mp3, cd, dvd, burn cd's, surf the net via wifi, 5.1 surround, add in GPS (I was gunna but ran outa money), and pretty much anything else you can do with a PC cuz it's almost as good as my PC in my bedroom!
No need for a mouse, it's a touch screen monitor!
The way the dvd drive gets it's power you'll be able to easily hookup a keyboard if you need one. (I have a spare I can sell, but they're only like $10 at walmart anyway..)

One of the best features is the OPUS power supply. This power supply turns on the computer with the ignition.. and shuts it down when the car is shut off. No it's not a hard shutdown either, it waits 10 seconds, then runs a shutdown script to safely shut down your computer. You can also change a jumper and make it go into hibernation instead. I'll include an in-house PSU (230w) also so you can work on the pc in the comfort of your home with a standard monitor.

The only thing you'll need to complete this setup is audio equipment. I'd suggest atleast a small 4 channel amp. I have one that I guess I could throw in.. it's a bazooka but I wouldn't let that go for under an extra $65.

What am I asking for a price? My asking price for the complete setup is $800.. that's a $200 hit I'm taking.. Call it a 20% depreciation... But I'm only ASKING $800. I'm taking offers. I WILL split the 7" screen from the computer if needed.

Please help me out, I need to get my engine replaced badly. I'm getting stuck having to sell this cuz I can't get a loan, and I'll have to spend even more money later to start from scratch again once I start working next month again.

I accept paypal, but the 3% commission is really high on this much so I'd ask you help out with that as well. Shipping this shouldn't be too expensive, I can get it all in one box I'm sure, so I'll just say flat of $30 shipping anywhere in the US.

hey man that sucks! If you do wanna part the setup I can afford to offer you 200$ for the liliput shipped to 01876. I dont wanna lowball but thats the most I can really afford on this for the used screen provided everything works. I was just talking about this with you the other day too on 240sxone.com its too bad. if you cant do that price then I guess heres a free bump for you... good luck man

Because I'm feeling nice:

And tiggs,

Can I get better pictures of everything?

Also, are you willing to sell just the radio bezel w/ monitor & the custom bracket mount for the radio in the climate area???

Thanks, email: hyphendesigns (AT) yahoo (DOT) com.

*** EDIT: oops, didn't realize your pictures are the one a few replies down.

^^ a direct link to the pic. sorry I didn't do the headunit install where the vents go etc.. I didn't need to. I get all the same functions and more (well, minus fm radio cuz I didn't get an fm card yet) from my carputer. Thanks for being nice and linking that thread ;) I kinda did a carbon copy post on a few forums as you can tell and the link copied badly. I hadta go back to each one and fix it/post up this pic instead.

edit: tastyratz, I'm considering that offer. I'm waiting right now, giving this whole thing a day or so to be seen and make sure nobody wants the whole setup together before I do start parting it out. You're first on the list for the screen right now though :)

No problem tastyratz. If you need any help with your setup lemme know.

I brought the system inside, took some pics, took it slightly apart to get pics of specific components.. There isn't much else I can do to get any other pics unless there's something specific you want. I'm not putting it back in my car though, lol.

Ok, I'm waiting to hear back on an offer I have of $680 shipped. I need this money so I can get my car fixed. I'm still taking offers and if it takes to long for this person (another day or so) to get back to me I'll be taking the second best offer.
